Plan is to eliminate the original K-member, to make way for the 350/700r4 combo, and replace it with a SIMPLE tube crossmember / x member.... first was a drop out trans mount crossmember. All this will be installed, tacked in under car while body is on, and final welded when body is pulled, pics of that will be taken then.

looking good now all you gotta do is chop it about 3 inchs and paint it red. Had one years ago wish i still did they do make nice rides. Now I hope more people that visit this site post more car builds and tech articles . RED

Just curious why would you have to modify the floor for the CE install. I have had it on a coupe and just installed the kit on my ragtop with sway bar and no floor modification. Nice build---keep us posted

The rear shock mount on the Chassis Engineering kit will interfere with the spare tie well, pretty substantially, They state that you have to "modify" the floor to use it. The floors in this car are perfect and the customer wants to retain the stock spare tire location, so I simply made my own setup, and will post that later. I think it may be a problem specific to the business coupe???

Red, that 32 is a VERY detailed build, all pre 1955 parts and I have it all documented. Someday when I get a spare hour or two I will post it all here.

I did do the doors, the outer skins are available, but I fabricated the inners.... if you have seen a 3w door you know where I am coming from. The repairs are fit with a butt joint, and TIG welded for a smooth undetectable seem. That is the ONLY rust in that car. Customer is considering having me put in a Walden Speed Shop skin from the belt line down, so that the seem from the inside would be hidden in the belt line and behind the inner door panel, as this car will be debuted I think without an interior and he doesnt want any indication that the door has been repaired. I LOVE WORKING ON THAT 32 PROJECT, NO HOLDS BARRED!

It's quite obvious that my wife is typing. Bot 4 months ago from Ohio and we are in the process of refurbishing it. Over 100 mods including a '74 Nova front clip - '80 Olds backhalf - shaved - nosed - decked -channelled 2" - '46 grill - 350/350 - custom interior and the car was built in 1985. Hope you enjoy the pix. Give a couple of months and I will give you an update. Jim
